Attendance Zoning

  • GISD zoned our school boundaries to optimize student capacity at our facilities while accommodating for our district’s student growth. Recognizing that GISD is a fast growth district, our intent is to develop boundaries that will allow us to rezone in a manner that has the least impact on students.  

    Goals:

    • Create attendance zones that utilize the student capacity of existing and new facilities.
    • Create vertical feeder patterns for all campuses across the district.
    • Minimize the impact on students and families.

    Considerations 

    1. Demographics
    2. Feeder Patterns
    3. Transportation
    4. Future Growth-Projections
    5. Special Programs
